Late at night
I ponder
In the midnight dark
I wonder
What is mother doing now?
Father?
Sister?
Brother?
But no, I shake my head
I shouldn't have thought that last
I know
I know without doubt
What he is doing
Lying still, still, still
They know too
And they cry
They cannot know why
Why I'm truly here
Who he truly was
If they had
They wouldn't have thrown me
To the prying wolves
Who search my mind
Trying, failing fault to find
No, they cannot know
Late at night
They must ponder
In the midnight dark
They must wonder
Why did everything happen this way?
What ever happened to their baby?
They cannot know
No.
They cannot know.
